The chemical smell is real. Yesterday was my second time using the Sleep 8 Device Kit. It's extremely simple to use which is exactly what I was looking for. However, there was a strong chemical smell the first night after using it both times. I tried running my CPAP machine for 30 minutes before putting my mask on which helped a little bit. If it were just the temporary smell, I would live with it but last night I felt burning around the outside of my nostrils and had to stop using my CPAP. This morning, the outer edges of my nose are red and sore. Could it be a chemical burn? I can't say for sure. Buyer beware - the chemical smell noted in other reviews is real.

I like the ease of use of the system I like the ease of use of the system, and would rate the product higher if the smell was not so obnoxious. After each cleaning, I have to wash everything in order to get rid of the smell. This totally defeats the purpose of using the machine which I had hoped to use at home and when traveling. After I started using the product my allergies became worse due to the strong ozone smell. If this problem could be eliminated, I would keep it. Otherwise, I have invested money in a product and an extra bag that is not useful. I wonder if there is any evidence that the smell/ozone could be harmful to someone who has respiratory allergies? I would appreciate a reply and references to support the answer. Thank you.

Great little machine Works as described, super easy, plus I can store it away during while not in use - unlike the competition which requires a constant night table area.

Overwhelmed With Sleep8 Ozone Odor I was excited last month to try your cleaning device. The size is great and the design impressive. Unfortunately, each cleaning cycle produces a terrible ozone odor that doesn't dissipate. Adding insult to injury, when I called your support team last week for guidance, your representative essentially told me to get over it. I remain open to suggestions for solutions. If not; back to SoClean.

I had to contact Sleep 8 About their… I had to contact Sleep 8 About their product which I am not thrilled with. They are sending me a replacement because t barely holds a charge to last for two cleaning cycles, not three as indicated. So far, teh service dept has come through.
